Summit Mayor reports on Hurricane Sandy conference call

SUMMIT — Mayor Ellen Dickson posted a brief report of the conference call she was involved in on her Facebook page:

"Conference call with the Governor was just concluded. This is obviously a very serious storm. We are at level 3 for seriousness, possibly going to 4 by tonight with 5 being the highest. Widespread power outages are expected with record setting tidal flooding by tomorrow night.

"We have an excellent emergency management team in place. Info on warming stations and shelters will be forthcoming. If you are worries about your car Summit residents can park at the Broad Street garage with no charge.

"I'm sure we're all getting ready for this multi-day event. I'll post when I have new info.?"
